Summary:
Change the type of `fold` functions to enable them to compose
better. The guiding reasoning behind using types such as:
```
val fold : 'a t -> 's -> f:('a -> 's -> 's) -> 's
```
is:
1. The function argument should be labeled. This is so that it can be
reordered relative to the others, since it is often a multi-line
`fun` expression.
2. The function argument should come last. This enables its
arguments (which are often polymorphic) to benefit from type-based
disambiguation information determined by the types of the other
arguments at the call sites.
3. The function argument's type should produce an
accumulator-transformer when partially-applied. That is,
`f x : 's -> 's`. This composes well with other functions designed
to produce transformers/endofunctions when partially applied, and
in particular improves the common case of composing folds into
"state-passing style" code.
4. The fold function itself should produce an accumulator-transformer
when partially applied. So `'a t -> 's -> f:_ -> 's` rather than
`'s -> 'a t -> f:_ -> 's` or `'a t -> init:'s -> f:_ -> 's` etc.

Summary:
The changes in map_intf.ml dictate the rest. The previous API
minimized changes when changing the backing implementation. But that
API is hostile toward composition, partial application, and
state-passing style code.

Summary:
Expressing the sort of short-circuit evaluation in the changed code is
conceptually more direct using iterators.
Also, when using With_return, getting usable backtraces relies on the
compiler recognizing that the `raise` in the implementation of
`Base.Exn.raise_without_backtrace` should be a `reraise`. Using
iterators avoids this potential fragility.

Summary:
The treatment of comparison and exceptions in Core/Core_kernel/Base
makes them questionable as the default. This diff changes nonstdlib so
that Core is no longer opened in the global namespace, and makes a few
changes to handle the resulting minor API changes. This leads to a
lighter-touch nonstdlib, which makes a few definitions of its own, and
selects and extends modules from several libraries, including base,
core_kernel, containers, iter.

Summary:
Change the representation of Fol terms to use polynomials for
arithmetic. This is a generalization and simplification of those used
in Ses. In particular, the treatment of division is stronger as it
captures associativity, commutativity, and unit laws, plus being the
inverse of multiplication.
Also, the interface is staged and factored so that the implementation
of polynomials and arithmetic is separate from the rest of terms.

Summary:
The form of the Base containers interface, in particular the way
comparison functions are passed using Comparators, is slower than
standard functors. Also Base.Map is missing some operations, such as
efficient merge and union.
